M3 rear sway bar onto 318ti?

Lets face it, the 318ti does a lot of body roll in a turn (or I am spoiled).
Purchased a reclaimed M3 e36 rear sway bar. I was told it would fit. Having been a machinist for many years, I guess I could get it to fit but there must be a better way.
Has anyone attempted this with success?
The M3 sway bar is narrower thus it does not fit the chassis mounts, the curves in it to avoid other car pieces are wrong, etc.
Thanks in advance.

The E36 318ti has the same suspension as an E30 not E36. I'm sure the answer to your question will be easy to find on the web.
